' 6 Claims, No Drawings DERIVATIVESOF P-AMINOALKYL BENZENESULFONAMIDES The present invention relates to new derivatives ofpaminoalkyl benzenesulfonamides, processes for their preparation, to medicaments containing'the new compounds and their use.

More particularly, the present invention concerns compounds of the formula I,

wherein 1 R is alkyl having oneito six carbon atoms, allyl, cycloalkyl having five to eight carbon atoms, or cycloalkenyl having five to eight carbon atoms; R is hydrogen, ethyl or methyl; R is alkyl having one to-six carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having at. most eightcarbon atoms, cycloalkenyl having at most eightcarbon atoms, alkenyl having- .butyl, sec'.butyl,=tert.butyl,* isobutyl,-pentyl, isopentyl, 4

2,2-dimethylpropyl, l-methylbutyl, l-ethylpropyl, 1,2

dimethylpropyl, n-hexyl, methylpentyhz'dimethylbutyl, or-ethylbutyl; as cycloalkyl; R, can denote cyclopentyl, which can be optionally substituted by alkyl having one-three carbon atoms; cyclohexyl, which can besubstituted by ethyl or methyl; cycloheptyl, optionally substituted by methyl; as well ascyclooctyl; as cycloalkenyl, R, can denote-2-cyclopenten-l yl, 2-cyclohexen-lyl, 3-cyclohexen l yl, 2-methyl-2-cyclohexen l-yl, 3--

cycloheptenl -yl, or a cyclooctenyl group.

The substituent R embraces the'same alkyl, cycloal-- kyl or cycloalkenyl group'skas stated'under' R asalkenyl, R can denoteallyLfl -methylallyl,2-methylallyl,2 or 3-butenyl, or 2-, '3- or 4-pentenyl.

Compounds of formula, I are produced compound of formula ll,

(Ill

wherein v R R and m have the meaning-given under formula I, with an isocyanate of formula II],

1 by reacting a R N C X (Ill) wherein R and X have the meaning given under formula I; or

, with a reactive derivative of a carbamic acid or thiocarbamic acid of formula IV,

Ra X

ll /N-C0H R4 (1v) wherein R3, R and X have the meaning given under formula I; and, optionally, converting the obtained reactionv products into the salt of an inorganic or organic acid. Suitable as reactive derivatives of a carbarnic acid or thioca'rbamic acid of formula III are, e.g. the halides,

especially the chlorides, the lower alkyl esters, particularly'the methyl or ethyl esters, the phenyl esters, the amides, the lower monoor dialkylamides, in particular the N-methyl amides and the N,N-dirnethylamides, the diphenylamides, also the N-acylamides such as, e.g. the

, acetylamides and the benzoylamides. I

w The reaction is performed, e.g. at room temperature, or by heating in'an inert organic solvent. Suitable as such are, e.g. hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene or xylene, ethers such as diethyl ether, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as ;-methylene chloride, and lower ketones such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone. The reaction can, in general, be

carried out without the addition of condensing agents;

optionally, however, such agents, e.g. alkali metal alcoholates and alkali metal hydroxides, can beadded.

A halide of a carbarnic acid or thiocarbamic acid of formula IV is reacted according to the invention,

preferably in the presence of an acid binding agent. As such it is possible to use inorganic bases or salts, such as, e.g. an alkali hydroxide, alkali acetate, alkali hydrogen carbonate, alkali carbonate and alkali phosphate, such assodium hydroxide,.sodium acetate,

sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium carbonate and sodium phosphate, or the corresponding potassium compounds. It is also possible to usecalcium oxide, calcium carbonate, as well as calcium phosphate and magnesium, carbonate. 'In addition to inorganic bases or salts, organic bases are also suitable such as, e.g. pyridine, trimethylor triethylamine, diisopropylamine,

solvent. r

Instead of amines of formula II, it is also possible to use for the reaction (according to the invention) with a carbamic or thiocarbamic acid chloride, N-alkali metal derivatives of these compounds, suchas e.g. sodium,

potassium or lithium derivatives; -Thestarting compounds of formula II are, for their part, new compounds. They can beproduced, e.g. by

reactinga reactive derivative of a sulfonic acid of form has the meaning given in formula I, with 2-amino-.

. 2-imidazoline derivatives of the formula VI,

or collidine. Added in excess, these can also be used as wherein R and R have the meaning given under formula I;

and afterwards hydrolytically splitting-off the protective acyl group (RCO). The N-acyl compounds derived from formula II, obtained as intermediate product, have likewise not been described hitherto in the literature. Suitable reactive derivatives of a sulfonic acid of formula V are halides, especially chlorides and anhydrides of formula Va,

1i 2 (Va) wherein R has the meaning given under formula V. The anhydrides of formula Va can be obtained in a simple manner by the reaction of corresponding substituted sulfonic acid halides with salts of correspondingly substituted sulfonic acids.

Using a further process, starting materials of formula II are obtained by reacting substituted p-(aminoalkyl)- benzenesulfonamides of formula VII,

wherein m has the meaning given under formula I, with substituted N-(Z-bromoalkyl)-cyanoamides in an alkaline medium. Compounds of formula VII are, in turn, obtained substantially in accord with E. Miller, et al., J .Am.Chem.Soc., 62,2099 (1940). Thus, for example, N-ace'tylphenethylamine is reacted with chlorosulfonic acid. The resulting sulfonylchloride is converted to the corresponding sulfonamide with aqueous ammonia and finally, the acet-yl group is hydrolyzed to give the p-(B- aminoethyl)-benzenesulfonamide.

The preparation of the starting compounds of formula III and of formula IV is carried out using the generally known preparationmethods for isocyanates, and carbamic acid derivatives and thiocarbamic acid derivatives, respectively.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts comprised by the present invention are readily available by allowing to reach a compound of formula I with a suitable acid and isolating the salt by conventional methods.

For formation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts it is possible to use physiologically harmless inorganic or organic acids, such as, e.g. hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, succinic (Vlll acid, tartaric acid and maleic acid. Also hypoglycemic sulfonyl ureas such as, e.g. p-toluene-sulfonylbutyl urea, p-chlorobenzenesulfonylpropyl urea, and p[2(2- methoxy-S-chlorobenzamido)-ethyI]-phenylsulfonylcyclohexy] urea can be used.

The compounds of the present invention have been found to have valuable hypoglycemic activities in warm-blooded animals upon oral or parenteral administration. These activities are illustratively demonstrated in rats by orally administering the test compound to groups of five to six animals which have not been fed for 24 hours. Blood samples are taken from the vein, and the blood sugar content is determined according to the method of Hagedom-Jenson with an auto-analyzer. Thus, it is shown that l-[p-( 2-(3-nbutyl-2-thioureido )-ethyl )-phenylsulfonyl -2-imino- 3 n-butyl-imidazolidine on oral administration in amounts from about 20 to about 400 mg/kg of bodyweight has a pronounced blood sugar lowering effect.

Similar effects are found with other compounds of the invention.

The compounds of formula I. and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are preferably administered orally in a daily dosage of from 10 to 400 mg/kg of bodyweight. The dosage must necessarily be adjusted to the age, size and condition of the particular host being treated.

For their intended use the compounds of the invention are provided in dosage unit forms including'for example, tablets, capsules, dragees, powders, syrups, elixits, and the like.

Suitable dosage units such as dragees or tablets, preferablycontain 10-200 mg of an active substance according to the invention, whereby the content of ac tive substance is. 20-80 percent by weight. Tablets and dragees are produced by combining the active substance, e.g. with solid pulverulent-carriers such as lactose, saccharose, sorbitolor mannitol; starches such as potato starch, maize starch or amylopectin, also laminaria powder or citrus pulp powder, cellulose derivatives or gelatine, optionally with the addition of lubricants, such as magnesium or calcium stearate or polyethylene glycols of suitable molecular weights. The tablets and dragee-cores are coated, e.g. with concentrated sugar solutions whichmay also contain, e. g. gum arabic, talcum and/or titanium dioxide; or. with a lacquer dissolved in readily volatile organic solvents or mixtures of solvents. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings, e.g. to distinguish between varying dosages of active substance. I

Other suitablev dosage units for oral administration are hard gelatin Capsules, as well as soft closed capsules made from gelatine and a softener such as glycerin. The hard capsules preferably contain the active substance as a granulate, e.g. in admixture with fillers such as maize starch, and/or lubricants such as talcum or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers such as sodium metabisulfite (Na S O or ascorbic acid. In soft capsules, the active substance is n-propylisocyanate, dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids such as liquid polyethylene glycols, whereby stabilizers may also be added.

The following examples will serveto further typify the nature of the present invention, but should not be construed as a limitation on the scope thereof. Temperatures are given in degrees Centigrade.
